We are just back from a fantastic but tiring climb along the whole of the Maamturks ridge (report and video to follow!). A big thank you to Simon for his excellent route description and GPS waypoints. From the summit of Mullach Glas we saw the amazing sight of the Brandon range in Dingle appearing above the cloud. It must be rare to see such a long way in Ireland (about 150km). Scapania on MV has shown the reverse view of Connemara from Brandon. Does anybody know of any longer distance views from Irish Mountains? The distance of the view from the Wicklows to Snowdon probably just matches this.
